Chamber of Commerce Delegation,
After Viewing Chattanooga Show,
Declares Similar Institution Here
Would Be Self-Supporting.
Atlanta should establish a permanent exhibit of the thousand
or more products of its .">48 factories.
'The plan is feasible.
The exhibit will be self-sustaining.
Atlanta could devise nothing which would impress the visitor
more favorably.
Sixty-five members of the Chamber of Commerce thus for
mulaic their belief, after inspecting Thursday Chattanooga's dis
play of home-manufactured goods.
The delegation tilled a special
car, attached to the “Dixie
Flyer.” It was a business trip.
There was no entertainment
program, no time for play. Ar
riving in Chattanooga,, the At
lantans went directly to the two
buildings where the permanent
exhibit is housed.
They went through the building
from top to bottom, accompanied by
members of the Chattanooga Manu
facturers’ Association. They a,sked
innumerable questions as to expense,
number of visitor?, how the necessary
funds were raised, what the exhibitors
. think of it, whether it pay?, and how
it is made to pay.
The hosts answered in explicit de
tail. *
Hosts Withheld Nothing.
“We base no secrets.” said O. L
Bunn, secretary and V nana £ er

lif
of
the
Chattanooga Manufacturers’ Associa
tion “We are glad to explain every
thing. even to open our book? to you
if you so desire. We feel that the
building of such an exhibit by^ At
lanta can not hurt us. \and. in fact,
that it will aid u? by advertising the
South even more widely as a manu
facturing section."
Among other details which the In
quisitive Atlantan j learned were
these:
An average of 50 persdfis a day,
year in and year out. visit the display.
Few manufacturers who once make
an exhibit ever cancel their reserva
tion of floor space.
• Many sales can be traced direct to
‘.he exhibit.
Some manufacturers have abolished
their'sale? rooms and use their exhibit
space for this purpose.
During large conventions the visi
tors throng the building and carry its
fame to their homes all over the
United States.
While the Confederate reunion was j
in progress 35,000 persons went
through the building.
The “home folks” do not ignore the
displays. New Year’? Day, 1913, 15.-
000 Ohattanoogans attended a recep
tion in the building.
('hattancoga jobbers and retailers
are proud of the label. "Made In Chat
tanooga,” and they have been edu
cated to this point largely through the
exhibit.
Rental Pays Expenses.
There are 120 exhibitors in the
Chattanooga exhibit, out of 300 mem
bers in the Manufacturers' Associa
tion. Within four years the exhibit
has outgrown a four-story buiidir.g,
25 by 110 feet, and now fills another
building of identical size. Rental of
floor space has served to pay all in
terest chaiges. expenses and to create
a sinking fund. It will not be many
years before the buildings will be free
of debt. As it is not tlie Intention of
the association to realize a profit on
•Ihe undertaking, it is likely the rents,
reasonable enough now, will be re
duced from year to year as the debt is
tV*tired and the interest charges grow
Walter G. Cooper, secretary of the
Clbmber of Commerce, perforce, took
the. lead in Thursday's investigation,
because of the absence of Brooks
Morgan. Mr. Morgan has been a
leadhg spirit in arousing enthusiasm
for tip “Made in Atlanta” exhibit, but
a cast, in court prevented hi? attend
ance Vihursday.
Price Not an Obstacle.
Mr. ^Vioper went into financial ques
tions \v[th especial thoroughness. He
ascertained that rentals to exhibitors
are 60 U 90 cents per year per square
root. T\e low rate is made possible
by a coVibination of favorable cir-
cumstanc>s. Whether Atlanta can do
it as cheaply is debatable, but Chatta
nooga’s e^eri^nce demonstrates that
the price rn-ed not be prohibitive.
One thin>. Chattanooga has not done
which Atlaitans believe could be done
with profiles a display of raw mate
rials.
They woud display ail the re
sources of Georgia, from cotton to
iron ore, wit) placards giving statis
tics as to quantity and information as
to availability This would be for the
purpose of encouraging new industrial
development.

TOWN
Where to Find Money
And Sympathy.
The genlleman from Piast Point
was in a horrible humor. Everything
had gone wrong with him and when :
his friend climbed aboard the in
coming cpr, lie took particular pains
to tell said friend all his troubles.
“This high cost of living gag has
got me lashed to the mast." said the
man from East Point. "Every time
I get a dollar somebody comes along
and takes it away from me. The
futcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker all have a mortgage on
every cent that’s coming to me.
“I work as hard as a field hand
every day of the world and still
I’m not able to get ahead, and. to
cap the climax. I don’t get any
sympathy, either. At home and at
the office it’s all the same. They
seem to think I could do just a little
more than I've been doing. It sure
gets my goat.”
"Well,” said, thf friend, who looked
prosperous, arid as if nothing ever
disturbed the evei\ tenor of bis wpvg,
r'J know where to find mone/'and
sympathy.” \ |
"Where,” glared tl)e man from Kast
Point.
“In the dictionary,r was the quiet .

Taking Advantage \
Of the Handsome Actor.
great big bouquet of violets to give
to the dame and he took particular
care to look his best. Everybody
back stage was hep to the little com
edy and we all went outside to see
Mr. Actor make his killing. We were
going to give him the laugh when he
had waited about two hours for the
lady to appear, but we were treated
to a small-time sketch not on the
regular program.
The actor, bouquet in hand, had
been standing out front about ten
minutes when along came a beautiful
dame and she had a bunch of vio
lets pinned on her coat, or whatever
it is the girls wear these days. The
guy evidently thought she was the
one. because he stepped forward, hat
in hand, and his most bewitching
smile. He blocked the dame's way.
She got scared right now, but Mr.
Actor did not seem to notice that he
had made a mistake till a great big
strapping chap with a cigar stuck
in his face leaped forward from
somew-here and handed Mr. Actor an
upper cut that put him down for the
count.
"It was the lady's husband. He
had stepped Into a cigar store to
get a smoke and the wife had strojled
on, expecting him to overtake her.
That actor was sure done up. Some
of us boys helped him back to the
theater and into his dressing room
where we did the best we could for
him. The rest of the week he never
showed himself except on the stage
and he looked soared to death all
the time. I think he is cured.”
